In 2010 The Eastern Football League will enter its 50th year of operation offering elite top quality men's 18+ amateur full contact football in the New England area. This makes the league one of the longest running adult amateur or “semi-pro” leagues in the country. Since 1961 athletes from all different levels of experience ranging from high school to pro have lined the fields and battled it out all competing for an EFL Crown. Currently teams compete in the months of July till October, Friday Nights and Saturdays with squads comprised of working class athletes playing purely for the love of the game. For 2010 the league will welcome its newest members the Granite State Knights of Manchester, NH; Boston Ravens of Boston, MA; Western Mass Blitzin Bears of Springfied, MA; Braintree Cowboys of Braintree, MA and the Mid-Coast Falcons of Scarborough, ME.
